\"\"<\/a>I have had this huge acorn squash sitting on my counter, staring at me, for a few days now.\u00a0 So I decided to make some soup with it.\u00a0 There is a recipe, from a friends blog, that I’ve been wanting to try.\u00a0 So I sliced the acorn in half.\u00a0 I scooped out it’s guts and popped it in the oven to roast.\u00a0 It roasted for about an hour.\u00a0 I separated the flesh from the skin and discarded the skin.\u00a0 There was so much squash that I had to divide it (So I still have half a squash in my fridge).\u00a0 I took\u00a0 2 carrots, half an onion, and\u00a0 1\/2 inch ginger root and sauted them in a large sauce pan.\u00a0 Then I added 3 cups of chicken stock brought it up to a boil.\u00a0 Then I brought down the temp to a simmer.\u00a0 I simmered it for about 30 minutes and added the squash and simmered for another 30 minutes.\u00a0 I used a stick blender to blend it into a smooth texture.\u00a0 Then I add a 1\/2 cup of cream.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this soup. I also really love squash.\u00a0 My family, on the other hand, could have done without.\u00a0 Levi took one bite and you would have thought I was trying to poison him.\u00a0 I had only gave them a little so after they ate what they had I peeled and chopped two cucumbers.\u00a0 They devoured the cucumbers in no time.\u00a0 Corey impressed me.\u00a0 He ate the soup and didn’t complain one bit.\u00a0 After dinner I asked what he thought and he said that he doesn’t like squash.<\/p>\n

Thanks KellyAnne for the recipe.\u00a0 I really enjoyed this soup.\u00a0 It’s really too bad I probably won’t get another chance to eat it again.\u00a0 Meanwhile I still have half of a squash that, apparently, I have to eat all by myself.\u00a0 Acorn Squash is a good source of Vitamin C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
